Covid-19 delays court case against gang boss
Share
A COVID-19 case at the Blue Downs Magistrateâs Court has forced the case against alleged underworld figure Nafiz Modack to be delayed.
Modack and his co-accused - former rugby player Zane Killian, Jacques Cronje, Ricardo Morgan and Anti-Gang Unit member Ashley Tabisher, appeared on charges of a range of criminal activities including the murder of top cop Charl Kinnear, corruption and the attempted murder of attorney William Booth.
They appeared in a heavily guarded courtroom and a cordoned-off court perimeter.
The defence counsel for Modack, who had initially filed an interlocutory application so they may have access to further information on the charges against Modack, said they had been furnished with information although they were ânot satisfiedâ with it and were ready to go ahead with the bail application.

Axed top cop Jeremy Vearey has vowed to support his brothers in arms – Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) boss Andre Lincoln and former Crime Intelligence chief Peter Jacobs – whose jobs are on the line. I am still committed to the assistance of Lincoln and Jacobs, despite the fact that my dismissal is an attempt to sabotage that relationship as I will not be able to represent them [in their disciplinary woes] as an employee, he said.
Vearey faced misconduct charges over a series of Facebook posts, in which he was accused of tarnishing the image of national commissioner Khehla Sitole.
Assassinated detective Charl Kinnear's widow, Nicolette, said she was met by surprise when she received a document informing her about the withdrawal of the Anti-Gang Unit members guarding her family.
